The Pause

In music, for someone like me who is far from a musician, I mostly listen to the notes.

I listen to the rhythm, the different instruments and the words of the song.

But one of the most powerful things that can happen within a song is a pause.

The pause resets your focus. If you were drifting or losing interest, the pause gets your attention more than any of the notes could have.

Then BOOM! You're back into it and loving it.

In life and in business, we feel that there's more value in the hustle (the notes of the songs) and we forget the power of the pause.

If you think you don't have time to pause, you need the pause more than ever.
